Very true, with obvious exceptions.

Keep in mind there are lots of negative things about being your own boss.

If you lack motivation, you’re dead in the water.

You’re on your own for life insurance/health insurance and the rates are not cheap.

You’re on your own for retirement, 401K and savings, no company matching going on here.

You are liable for everything you do and where in a normal job you clock out and you’re done, you never leave the office when you own your own business.
